A few days ago, Coach Matty B shared a kick ass video on how how to stretch @ your desk. Since we’re all sitting a lot more these days, those stretches are important to get your blood flowing while preventing your muscles and joints from getting all sorts of tight + stiff – nobody wants that!

Maybe it’s not sexy but here’s why your posture is important:
Benefits of correct desk posture:
-
Facilitates better breathing and circulation

Decreases back and body pains

Higher levels of productivity and mental alertness.
